Bembel (22’)

A dry cider inspired by the tart apfelwein commonly enjoyed in Frankfurt, Germany. This cider is fermented at around 50 degrees with a Reisling yeast culture in stainless and then aged for an additional six months on fine lees in stainless. Prior to packaging, we cold condition for six weeks at around 35 degrees. This cold-fermentation and conditioning enhances the crisp mouthfeel, and fruity aromas.

What’s with the name?

The name ‘bembel’ is derived from the earthenware pitchers that cider is poured from into tall kölsch-like glassware in Frankfurt, Germany.

Our flavor experience

traditionally raw, radically fresh, and distinctly tart.
